My first book, Budget Sailboat Restorations is based on the refit of Brigid, a 32ft cutter. In the book I cover everything from choosing the right boat, surveying her, developing a restoration plan and detail what to look for in every system on the boat. I also cover the thorny issues of time management and how to stay on time and in budget! So if you thinking about restoring a sailboat you have come to the right place.
I have been 'messing about in boats' for more than 50 years. Hold the RYA Yachtmaster ticket and have more miles under my keel that I can remember. I have sailed to every major port from Amsterdam to Gibraltar and crossed the Atlantic in a 60 year old classic I restored myself. There are few things on a sailboat I have not done more than once.
You can find out more about me on my website, www.sailingbrigid.ca or look up some of the articles I have written for Practical sailor. You can also drop on on my YouTube channel sailing brigid.
